Chai Tea Latte: Experience a Classic Again

Tazo® Chai Tea Lattes mix the exotic with the familiar. This beverage starts with a rich, full-flavored Assam tea and blends five spices that have been used in Indian chai recipes for decades: ginger, cardamom, star anise, cloves and cinnamon. The blend is a “classic masala chai” – the Tazo recipe adds sweetness with honey, organic cane sugar and a hint of vanilla.

Like most of our beverages, the Tazo® Chai Tea Latte is customizable. If you want to savor some extra cinnamon or try it very vanilla, just ask. One of the more popular customizations you’ve told us about is to add a shot of espresso for an extra kick. There’s an iced version perfect for warm days. And there are a full range of milk options, including soy.

Here’s an insider’s tip: for a less spicy, sweeter taste, increase the amount of dairy. The milk fat decreases the level of spice you taste. Alternatively, if you’re looking for a spicier, less sweet Chai Tea Latte, ask us to dial up the water – that helps to release the full flavor of all the spices.

How do you like to customize your Tazo® Chai Tea Latte? We would love to hear from you.
